It's cold tonight, cold
I wear my heavy coat
I think it's Michael
But my son says Lebron is the GOAT

My youngest is studying
Ancient India for a test
I keep on, keep on writing
Trying to do my best

In my solitude
I remember her pretty face
Whales in the ocean
Aliens in space?

                   Chase.

Impossible burger for dinner
Baby, it's cold outside
The sacred is elusive
Tends to run and hide

Born too late for God
Hold her to my chest
My hands in her hair
My mouth upon her breast

                  Yes

My back hurts, I'm tired
Fajitas for lunch today
Viva Mexico!
Hey hey ole!

I'm no one important
Dawn goes down to day
Mist in the mountainside
Silent is the Way

Might sleep again
Can't find words to pray
Tired. Exoplanets.
Gracias xie xie

       No nay never nay

Not really vegetarian anymore
Fajitas, fried chicken, kabobs
Take the allopurinol
Try to control my gout

Boredinary living
Sleep late and long
Call my darling sons
Secular - not devout

Politics Portends
Craptocracy
Rule of the *****
Is there any way out?

I'm conflicted about everything:
Vegetarianism, God, ****
I'd like to begin again
Would like to be reborn

Marriage is misery
My schizophrenic wife
Chaos, paranoia
Bitterness and strife

Fatherhood is joy
Call my wonderful sons
O ye Americans!
Please give up your guns

Time is the Cross
Just tick tocks on
Beauty Baltic Sea
Scifi Gamla Stan

He's gonna be an astronaut
Maybe take us higher
Father Greeley freely
George W. Liar

I tweaked my back yesterday
Hurts when I reach down
In Dublin meant to be
When Love Comes to Town

Notre Dame Cathedral
Paris, City of Light
Disability
Courage in the fright

55 and falling
Moroccan mint tea
Talk with my sons
Xie xie. Xie xie ni.

               We

The poetry of place
Cities on the page
The beauty of her face
Haunts me as I age

Aliens above?
Exoplanets spin
Aliens in love
Discoveries within
